Motion made, and Question proposed, That the Bill be recommitted to a Committee of the whole House in respect of the Amendment to Clause 4, page 4, line 34; both Amendments to Clause 4, page 5, line 8; and the Amendments to Clause 4, page 5, line 11; Clause 6, page 5. line 41; Clause 6, page 6, line 4; Clause 13, page 10, line 12; Clause 14, page 10, line 22; and Clause 14, page 10, line 29, standing on the Notice Paper in the name of Mr. Henry Brooke; and the Amendment to Clause 19, page 13, line 28, standing on the Notice Paper in the name Mr. John Maclay.—[Mr. H. Brooke.]

4.15 p.m.

Mr. Speaker

There are several Amendments to the Motion. I do not select that in the name of the hon. Member for Crosby (Mr. Page), at the end to add: and in respect of the Amendments to Clause 4, page 5, line 11; Clause 13, page 10, line 12; and Clause 19, page 13, line 28, standing on the Notice Paper in the name of Mr. Page because I think that it is covered.

As to the number of Amendments listed in the proposed Amendment to the Motion, in the name of the hon. and learned Member for Kettering (Mr. Mitchison), I will only say that I would not propose to select his Amendments in Clause 2, page 2, line 42 and in Clause 2, page 2, line 43. It seems that there is a mistake in the print in the Amendment which I select, in Clause 5, page 5, line 14. It should read "line 12".

Question amended, by adding, at the end: and in respect of the Amendments to Clause 1, page 1, line 9; Clause 1, page 2, line 1; and Clause 5, page 5, line 12; and the new Clause (Applications for standard grant at instance of tenants (England and Wales)), standing on the Notice Paper in the name of Mr. Mitchison".—[Mr. Mitchison.]

and: and in respect of the Amendment to Clause 20, page 13, line 29, and the new Clause (Applications for standard grant at instance of tenants (Scotland)), standing on the Notice Paper in the name of Miss Herbison".—[Miss Herbison.] and, as amended, agreed to.

Bill immediately considered in Committee.
